Over the weekend, PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds fans discovered a surprising change to the game's female character model: suddenly, it had camel toe.

Camel toe, AKA the imprint of female genitalia upon too-tight clothing, had not been there previously. But there it was on PUBG's test server.

You can see the old character model compared to the new one in the comparison below.

Players reacted with surprise and some anger at the alteration. Many of the responses on reddit and Twitter simply asked "why?". Others demanded PlayerUnknown himself - the game's creator, Brendan Greene - offer an explanation.

Early this morning, Greene replied to the furore, blaming the change on an out-dated character model from an outsourced artist. The model will now be "updated", Greene promised, adding: "Sorry for any offense caused!"

The part I don't understand is how these nasty people became the vanguard of gaming. WTF? Who says these people are in charge or morals?

It was called Gamergate. Gamers "won" because while, as a whole, while the SJW attack was beaten back, the mainstream media was allowed to write the narrative which allows the notorious left leaning folks their moments of outrage at times like this.

In such obvious examples of "low class" and "sexisim" with no other merit like this we all have to play to the illusion of narrative the media crafted which is that the SJWs won.

Anyone who looks too deeply will see video games have certainly been spared the outright SJW cleansing other media has been but I think it's all part of an unspoken cease-fire at the moment. It is a scab though, just waiting for someone to pick at it before it opens again. Too much virtue signaling in the industry from people who think they are in power will cause a revolution if something big comes down the pike.

You really are going to pander to people complaining about a camel toe on a female character model, because some female gaming troll who is chubby and offended at the depiction of attractive characters in game complained?

As 100s of men have stated already, the bulge and package size of the male characters underwear is unrealistic, are you going to change that too?

Especially a dev who has made a rpg, you know, with armors that cover almost nothing.

It's 2018 soon, age of Conan has full nudity, rust has full nudity, the game is for adults, a camel toe isn't pornographic content, if it was your MMO would be adult only.

And no one complains about it the games with full nudity, they just don't play it if insulted.

But you are going to priorities and be apologetic to some western shrew because she can't handle a camel toe.

Do you know how unrealistic most men in games are, they all look like they're on steroids and as if they're models, yet not a single man complains, and that's far more unrealistic than a camel toe.

It's radically ridiculous that this is even a problem that made steam headline news, and what it means for the future of gaming and publishers if chubby western girls can make a complaint, and actually get a response from devs and a priority call of changing said offensive content.

Ok, so i'm deeply offended by over sized underwear bulges on the men, are you gong to personally tell me you'll make it a priority to fix and apologize to me?

Also I'm offended all the characters are thin, I want fat characters, because you've objectified me and women who aren't so sporty, you should patch this too.

you see where this road keeps going.

hell I'm offended your game doesn't have more than 2 options for the characters sex, where are the transgenders and zim zahrs ect.

Online gaming and the internet are some of the last free places on this planet, you start conforming now, where the hell will it end, you want to live in a world where people tell you what you can and can't put in your game, and later dictate what you should change because of personal offense?

Glad that's taken care so people can get back to the game where you can shoot people in the head and get a nice visceral blood splatter reward for it.

The other irony is that men use female characters for the sexual assets anyway. Adding one more indication throws them into fits?

There is nothing ironic about finding nudity offensive but not violence. Iím sorry, but thatís a pet peeve of mine.

Ingetbwhatbyou are saying, but itís not some sort of hypocrisy on the part of the person who believes that one is fine and the other is not. There are absolutely no natural bonds that link the two concepts together, and there is no generally agreed upon stance about nudity. Many different people feel many different ways about it. So no irony can occur.
